I don't know but I really want to say I would.

We have a German Shepard/Border Collie mix (we think) and a Border Collie. Both were rescues so we're not sure. We got the mix as a puppy and she is a great companion and I'm sure the reason our house has not been broken into. The other we got as a nine year old. She needed a couple of surgeries but is a good dog. They are now 12 and 13 and still get around for being so old, although they spend a lot of time sleeping. I guess the reason I would not like them as people is that they are seem needy. As dogs though, they require a comparatively small amount of food, fresh water, exercise, and occasional medical attention. All the other love and attention is a bonus (they get a lot). They give us their everything.

I think the reason we love dogs so much is that we don't have to like them as people.
